Five star book. Five star service.

Not just a great book by the future biographer of LBJ. The Power Broker arrived in excellent condition, as promised from Fairlane Books. I can heartily recommend both the title and the seller.

Robert A. Caro at his best

Having read all the available LBJ biographies and rating Caro the best biographer I have ever read, I wanted to read everything he has written. The Moses biography is the rest and my only wish is that Caro had added a bit more (of context--for which there wasn't space) to make two volumes. The picture of an amazingly brilliant, successful and flawed man was rich, documented and compelling.

Excellent Biography

This is an excellent and insightful book. Caro later
used the same research and writing prowess which he displayed here to produce his volumes on LBJ.

Brilliant Book.

Might be the best I've ever read - on politics, power and urban development. Fascinating and terrifying, the aggression and intelligence of one man putting democracy aside and ruling NYC and NY State like an emperor.

Lots of American History from early to mid-20th century as well.

1200 pages - but shifting perspectives and a brilliant writer.
